Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa-3/3

Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa on Global Capitalism, Why He Won't Renew the US Base in Manta, Chevron in the Amazon, Obama's War in Afghanistan, and More

In a national broadcast exclusive, we speak with the President of Ecuador, Rafael Correa. He was in New York attending the United Nations Conference on the World Financial and Economic Crisis and Its Impact on Development. In a wide-ranging interview, we speak with President Correa about global capitalism, his decision not to renew the license for the US military base in Manta, the $12 billion lawsuit against Chevron brought by thousands of Amazon residents for toxic oil pollution, Ecuadors relationship with Colombia, and his advice to President Obama: To learn more and come to better understand the region, and that [Obama] not let himself be taken along by the power of certain media outlets that are compromised with certain ideological fundaments, and that the heroes arent necessarily heroes, and the villains arent necessarily villains.

@willbond now you change the word ,dignity for marxist,i dont understood why stupid people just because some presidentes are honest,they think they are comunist,estupid gringos ,learn spanish language and read sergios and rauls comments,ecuadorian people are very honest and we never think how to steal other countries resources like you usually do .

[willbond]

@XdimegunsX "Some dummys"? Your response is weak. Why do Correa and Chavez help the FARC? It is pathetic the way they deny it when confronted with the evidence. Ask a Colombian. They will tell you what they think of your Marxist Drug Smuggling Kidnapper friends.

@willbond now you are nothing,why,cocaine exporter country ;are more important for you than dignity,,,, o; i know why because drugs are more important for some dummys

[willbond]

@XdimegunsX I am more concerned with Colombia's security than Ecuador's dignity.

[XdimegunsX]

@willbond when you talk about farc and ecuador ,you are touching our dignity,we expect everything negative from people like you

[willbond]

The FARC operate from Ecuador which means one of two things: A) That they are allowed to stay in and operate from Ecuador, or B) Ecuador cannot control its border with Colombia. For Correa to verbally support the FARC while denying he assists or at least tolerates them is a LIE.
